What the course does

It cuts the song into 24 exercises -- the grooves, the fills, and the joins between sections, which is where players actually come off -- and puts them in the order a teacher would. Each one opens on a reduction you can already play and adds the notes back a rung at a time, with a tempo to reach and a gate to pass before the next.

  1. The grooves the song is built on -- F, D -- 2 exercises, about 22 minutes.
  2. Through Part B and Part D -- 5 exercises, about 28 minutes.
  3. Through Part D and the Chorus -- 6 exercises, about 30 minutes.
  4. Through the Chorus and Part I -- 5 exercises, about 29 minutes.
  5. Through Part I and Part K -- 5 exercises, about 29 minutes.
  6. Bars 59-74 -- 5 exercises, about 21 minutes.

Questions

What BPM is Querida?

90 BPM, in 4/4, with the time kept in sixteenth notes. The room plays it at any tempo from a quarter of that up to the written one, against the record where the record can follow.

Is Querida hard to play on drums?

48 out of 100, a step up from a first song, and the work is in the independence between the hands and the feet. The beat itself is 23 out of 100; the rest of the number is everything around it.

How long is the drum part?

107 bars, about 4:45 at the written tempo. The course breaks it into 24 exercises over 7 sittings, about 24 minutes each.

What do I need on the kit?

crash, hi-hat, snare, high tom, mid tom, floor tom and kick. That is most of a full kit; the part moves around it rather than sitting in one place.

How many fills are in Querida?

4 fills to learn, played 7 times: bars 29, 39, 49, 57, 64, 65 and 1 more.
